Restored in a very good condition. The house is stunning, even if the history doesn't interest you.

Beautiful place in Bangkok with beautiful teak houses, and lovely gardens. The guide will explain the various artifacts to you in your native language. We were French. It's a beautiful site. (

It is a beautiful place right in the middle of Bangkok. It was very enjoyable to visit the gardens and houses with an English-speaking guide. Beautiful decoration and objects. (

A small green oasis located in the heart of Bangkok. It was a wonderful tour. We learned so much about Jim Thompson's history and silk production. Beautiful and informative, the house and its furnishings are stunning. If you aren t staying in Bangkok for more than a few days, I recommend visiting the Jim Thompson House.

The house itself is very interesting but the place has turned into more of a retail store than a museum. If you do want to visit, be sure to allot a couple hours. It is required that tours go with a guide and each last nearly an hour. When we arrived the next tour available was in 45 minutes.
